Dave Grohl 'Sound City' documentary bought by Gravitas Ventures

Dave Grohl's Sound City documentary has found a buyer ahead of its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.

Gravitas Ventures confirmed on Tuesday (January 15) that it has bought the video on-demand rights to the film, which will debut on the service on February 1. It will also be screened in selected US cinemas via an agreement with Variance Films.

Sound City offers a behind-the-scenes look at the Californian recording studio of the same name where Grohl made Nevermind with Nirvana.

Fleetwood Mac's self-titled 1975 album and Rage Against the Machine's 1992 debut LP were also recorded in full or in part at Sound City Studios.

The Sound City documentary will premiere at Sundance on Friday (January 18).

Grohl will be joined by musicians including Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks, former Nirvana bandmates Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear, Creedence Clearwater Revival's John Fogerty and his Foo Fighters colleagues Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel and Chris Shiflett for a special performance at the film's premiere as the 'Sound City Players'.
